Here's how that would work...
So we divide up the country - libs on one side, conservatives on the other. Liberals invest in green energy, insure that the lowest wage-makers have access to adequate health care at an affordable price, and social freedoms are enjoyed equally by all. Women have access to safe abortions, homosexuals can get married, and all of this is secured by law. Folks can practice whatever religion they want, but ramming down people's throats is outlawed. On the down side, gun laws are stricter, but increased taxation provides better police protection. Entertainment is at an all time high, since the liberals kept Hollywood, but we graciously let NASCAR head to the conservative states. We kept all the other sports. Sorry about that.
Conservatives, on the other hand, quickly institute mandatory religion in schools, and do away with all colleges and institutes of higher learning. Those at the top encourage those at the bottom of the wage pool to accept their lot in life, and blindly support anyone making more money than them. Most housing is unaffordable; trailers outnumber every other domicile by a ratio of 10 to 1. Guns are allowed everywhere, and it's not uncommon to see day laborers with six guns strapped to their overalls Old West style. Christianity is the state religion, with all other religions being outlawed. Atheism is punishible by death, and homosexuality carries a fine of $10,000 per day until the offender seeks therapy to cure themselves.
Entertainment is horrible, although the conservatives seem to enjoy it. Country music and backwoods Appalachian gospel dominate the airwaves. Fashion is nonexistent, as no homosexual would dare come forth in such a police state to upgrade the 'plaid shirt and overall look'. The powers that be invest lots of money trying to make NASCAR an Olympic sport.
Most conservatives have tried to escape to liberal land, but unfortunately the wall that they built trying to keep liberals and immigrants out also prevents escape to the other side. Someone once proposed building a ladder, but with all the higher education facilities dismantled, conservatives forgot how. Fortunately Ted Nugent has opted to return to the conservative side of the country. We'll send one with him.
Then...the conservatives, who have continued their fevered production of weapons and methodical practice of warfare, suddenly see an entire country of advanced, yet defenseless, pacifistic liberals sitting just on the other side of their fence, with no means to stop the oncoming redneck juggernaut.
Just as suddenly, all your green technology advancements are being taken and used to create more weapons against the liberals. Ultimately, the conservatives overthrow the spineless liberal government, “liberate” the people of the poor backwater liberal country and install their own brand of democratic government.
The End
